"Starting 2/1/11 all users of Black Ops who have been implicated with any sort of hacking will be unable to access their 'Playstation 3' consoles and will receive an error message indicating their ban. E-mails will be sent out accordingly to the respective users."
So all there saying is if you hacked your PS3 on the 2/1/11 you will receive a error message when you turn on your PS3, that means basically that they bricked your PS3... It will mean that you wont be able to play any game online or offline, watch any movies, really do anything at all with your PS3. Everything would be disabled.
Now my question is: Is this even ****ING legal because its our console we paid $200 - $500 for it and now we cant even switch it on...
If its not then somebody get on the phone to there lawyer...

Now, if you already are on OFW, but did a stupid hack like 10th prestige on Mw2, you won't get bricked.

I hope so, I have OFW, but just received an account that was hacked on Black Ops, so I never tampered with my PS3. I hope Sony really doesn't care that much about Black Ops, especially since the game's developers don't give two shits about them.

They can't disable the console, because there would be more lawsuits.

tl;dr but if you use the CFW Sony can MAC ban you so you can't access PSN anymore.

I think it is legal but i dont think they should have the right to completely disable it you should still be able to play offline, I feel that its pretty unfair if that they even take away offline

If your using CFW then any patching to the code in LV1 and LV2 could result in a bricked PS3, this wouldn't be done on purpose but it would happen simply because Sony would patched a region of code that was unexpectedly tampered with.
This would mean Sony are not at fault, as people are not using official firmware which is being upgraded in an official way, in other words if it bricks then its the owners fault as you cant expect sony to test its upgrades are compatible with unauthorized firmwares.""
